How to make it

  • Chop onion into desired size .
  • Put olive oil in 6 to 8 qt. stock pot and heat under med-high heat. Once hot,add onion and cook till soft. Lower heat to med and add garlic. Stir with the onions 1 min. Add tomatoes,tomato paste,wine,sugar,about 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp pepper,mix well.
  • Lower heat to simmer. Start adding seasonings. This is done to taste. I usually start with 1 TB each od Italian seasoning,oregano and basil and work up from there,adding more salt and pepper if needed. Mix well after first batch of seasoning and cook about 15 mins before tasting and adding more.
  • At this point,add optional meats,if using
  • Cover stock pot and let simmer at least 2 hours,stirring occasionally.
  • Turn off heat,let cool to room temperature ,then put in refrigerator. Sauce will keep up to 2 weeks.

    Yowzers, do I love this, Pat!! This gets filed in my basic stocks and sauces and "make-ahead's" and "do-often's" ;-) Thanks so much for sharing.
